Transpersonal Counselling Course 2007

12 weekends October 07 September 08

Accredited by AHHA (Australian Holistic Healers Association)

There are several reasons for why are we offering a course in transpersonal counselling right now; Firstly, our own way of working, in individual counselling and with groups, has for long been transpersonal in its essence.
Secondly, spiritual and transpersonal experiences are becoming more common, because we are living in a world in transition from one age to the next.
One cosmic cycle is over, and the new cosmic impulse is causing upheaval on a global scale, including many much foretold earth changes.
The light is increasing on our planet, affecting people everywhere; there is a collective need and a readiness for expansion of consciousness and to move beyond the ego in a balanced way.

Transpersonal counselling is a natural extension of traditional counselling, as real life issues almost inevitably, will include aspects that to be dealt with needs to move beyond the ego. There are risks involved in moving beyond the relatively safe barriers of the ego and into the unknown, the transcendent, which are real and far greater than in traditional counselling. These risks are important to understand.
Stanislav Grof, one of the foremost founders of transpersonal psychology, says that
the current global crisis is of a psychospiritual nature .
He sees the parallels between what he calls the present collective death-rebirth process and the stages in individual birth, the four BPM`s or birth matrices.
This parallel illustrates the benefit both the planet and we can gain from transpersonal ways of working.

To put it short: mankind is now going through a collective birth matrix, essentially due to cosmic cycles which we cannot change.
But the degree of pain this causes is dependent on how much we are ready for the
new how much we are living in accordance with the resonance from cosmos, cosmic law and order - Dharma.
In professional counselling with the transpersonal aspect involved, you basically stand up for the reassuring fact that humans are much more than intelligent animals we are
essentially cosmic and quantum physical beings.
Now if you work with clients, this course will help you to a multidimensional
understanding of the complexity of the client and of the transformative
potentials in the situation.
